Hello, I’m Crystal

As a passionate graphic designer with 6 years of experience, I bring a unique blend of creativity and technical expertise to every project. After working in the restaurant industry for 16 years, I learned the value of customer service and client relationships and how those skills can help deliver impactful designs.
At the ripe age of 28 I decided that it was time for me to pursue my dream of getting a degree in Graphic Design. Since I was just a child, I always had a passion for art and creating. At 14 years old I started my first job at New Seabury Country Club working in the restaurant and stayed until I was 30 years old.

I am grateful for my experiences in the restaurant industry because the skills I learned have better prepared me for business.

I moved up in the restaurant and became a manager when I was 18. I was in charge of over 20 employees, each one with their own personalities. My management experience has helped me to thrive in project management for graphic design. Customer service is a quality that I am very passionate about.

Since graduating in 2017 from the University of Massachusetts in Dartmouth MA, we moved to central New York where I got a job creating websites full time and my passion for web design grew.

In 2020 after Covid hit, we decided to move back home to Massachusetts and I began to freelance. I worked on a wide variety of projects including web design, marketing materials, surface pattern design, and illustration.

My career goals are to continue to learn and grow as a graphic designer while utilizing my experience and people skills. I take pride in my design work and I always strive to provide the best work possible. I am reliable, resourceful, hard-working, and innovative. I think that my background brings a unique characteristic to graphic design that not many applicants starting out may have.
